Answer:

Dollar amount of ending Finished Goods Inventory = $1,073

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the cost per unit.

Using absorption costing, the cost of one unit is

Cost per unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit.

$Cost = 12 + 8 +2 + 7\\Cost = 29$

Now, the number of units left in inventory should be defined

Finished Goods Inventory (FGI) = Beginning Finished Goods Inventory + Units produced - units sold

$FGI = 50 +1200 - 1213\\FGI = 37$

The dollar amount of ending Finished Goods Inventory is FGI multiplied by the cost per unit.

$37*29 = 1,073$

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stock Market Rising Market Stable Market Falling

SUA $68,082 $47,373 $36,362

YSP $64,850 $49,320 $44,865

HTC $57,198 $52,949 $50,605

YHA $59,766 $59,766 $59,766

Expected Value:

Stock Market Rising Market Stable Market Falling Expected Value

Probability 60% 30% 10%

SUA $68,082*60% $47,373*30% $36,362*10% = $58,697

YSP $64,850*60% $49,320*30% $44,865*10% = 58,163

HTC $57,198*60% $52,949*30% $50,605*10% = 55,264

YHA $59,766*60% $59,766*30% $59,766*10% = 59,766

SUA = $40,849.20 + $14,211.90 + $3,636.20 = $58,697.30

YSP = $38,880 + $14,796 + $4,486.50 = $58,162.50

HTC = $34,318.80 + $15,884.70 + $5,060.50 = $55,264

YHA = $35,859.60 + $17,929.80 + $5,976.60 = $59,766

Answer: 1a. A supply chain is the summation of processes involved in ensuring that goods manufactured by a company gets to the final consumer.

Explanation:

1b. Managerial Accountants can improve the supply chain by looking out for hitches in the distribution cycle of goods and being proactive about handling them. Some measures to achieve these are;

1. Effective Logistics Network - All the resources used on logistics such as vehicles, Information technology devices/software, human resources, etc., should be regularly checked to be in good form at all times and equally, efficient.

2. Stock Control - Goods that may be required by costumers at any point in time should always be available.

3. Efficient Payment System - All resources used for payment including bank account information point of sale machines, should be regularly checked to be in good order.

4. Distribution Strategies - A clear cut map should be put in place by the management to facilitate an efficient and prompt delivery system. This can be done by strengthening all departments involved in distribution.

2. Sustainable Practices are those methods of production or initiatives, adopted by companies that seek to limit damage to the environment. An example, is recycling. These practices are geared at ensuring a safer world.

I would invest in a company that discloses their sustainable practices, first, because I believe they are transparent, and secondly because I believe that such companies aim at being enduring companies which are evolving and living up to the demands of a cleaner earth.
